Earth-like planets have viscoelastic mantles, whereas giant planets may have viscoelastic cores. The tidal dissipation of such solid regions, gravitationally perturbed by a companion body, highly depends on their rheology and on the tidal frequency. Therefore, modelling tidal interactions presents a high interest to provide constraints on planets properties and to understand their history and their evolution, in our Solar System or in exoplanetary systems. We examine the equilibrium tide in the anelastic parts of a planet whatever the rheology, taking into account the presence of a fluid envelope of constant density. We show how to obtain the different Love numbers that describe its tidal deformation. Thus, we discuss how the tidal dissipation in solid parts depends on the planets internal structure and rheology. Finally, we show how the results may be implemented to describe the dynamical evolution of planetary systems. The first manifestation of the tide is to distort the shape of the planet adiabatically along the line of centers. Then, the response potential of the body to the tidal potential defines the complex Love numbers whose real part corresponds to the purely adiabatic elastic deformation, while its imaginary part accounts for dissipation. This dissipation is responsible for the imaginary part of the disturbing function, which is implemented in the dynamical evolution equations, from which we derive the characteristic evolution times. The rate at which the system evolves depends on the physical properties of tidal dissipation, and specifically on how the shear modulus varies with tidal frequency, on the radius and also the rheological properties of the solid core. The quantification of the tidal dissipation in solid cores of giant planets reveals a possible high dissipation which may compete with dissipation in fluid layers.

Oceanic tides are a major source of tidal dissipation. They are a key actor for the orbital and rotational evolution of planetary systems, and contribute to the heating of icy satellites hosting a subsurface ocean. Oceanic tides are characterized by
a highly frequency-resonant behavior, which is mainly due to the propagation of surface gravity waves in the case of thin oceans, and internal waves when they are deeper. In this work, we derive self-consistent ab initio expressions of the oceanic tidal torque as a function of the key physical parameters of the system (the ocean depth, the Brunt-Vaisala stratification frequency, the rotation rate, the tidal frequency, the Rayleigh friction). These solutions include the coupled mechanisms of internal and surface gravito-inertial waves, which allows us to study the case of planets hosting deep oceans and offer interesting prospects for the coupling between subsurface oceans and ice shells in the case of icy satellites.
With the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 and its seven planets within 0.06 au, the correct treatment of tidal interactions is becoming necessary. The eccentricity, rotation, and obliquity of the planets of TRAPPIST-1 are indeed the result of tidal evolution
over the lifetime of the system. Tidal interactions can also lead to tidal heating in the interior of the planets, which can then be responsible for volcanism and/or surface deformation. In the majority of studies to estimate the rotation of close-in planets or their tidal heating, the planets are considered as homogeneous bodies and their rheology is often taken to be a Maxwell rheology. We investigate here the impact of considering a multi-layer structure and an Andrade rheology on the way planets dissipate tidal energy as a function of the excitation frequency. We use an internal structure model, which provides the radial profile of structural and rheological quantities to compute the tidal response of multi-layer bodies. We then compare the outcome to the dissipation of a homogeneous planet. We find that for purely rocky bodies, it is possible to approximate the response of a multi-layer planet by that of a homogeneous planet. However, using average profiles of shear modulus and viscosity to compute the homogeneous planet response leads to an overestimation of the averaged dissipation. We provide fitted values of shear modulus and viscosity to be able to reproduce the response of various types of rocky planets. However, we find that if the planet has an icy layer, its tidal response can no longer be approximated by a homogeneous body because of the very different properties of the icy layers, which lead to a second dissipation peak at higher frequencies. We also compute the tidal heating profiles for the outer TRAPPIST-1 planets (e to h).
WASP-12 is a hot Jupiter system with an orbital period of $P= 1.1textrm{ day}$, making it one of the shortest-period giant planets known. Recent transit timing observations by Maciejewski et al. (2016) and Patra et al. (2017) find a decreasing period
with $P/|dot{P}| = 3.2textrm{ Myr}$. This has been interpreted as evidence of either orbital decay due to tidal dissipation or a long term oscillation of the apparent period due to apsidal precession. Here we consider the possibility that it is orbital decay. We show that the parameters of the host star are consistent with either a $M_ast simeq 1.3 M_odot$ main sequence star or a $M_ast simeq 1.2 M_odot$ subgiant. We find that if the star is on the main sequence, the tidal dissipation is too inefficient to explain the observed $dot{P}$. However, if it is a subgiant, the tidal dissipation is significantly enhanced due to nonlinear wave breaking of the dynamical tide near the stars center. The subgiant models have a tidal quality factor $Q_astsimeq 2times10^5$ and an orbital decay rate that agrees well with the observed $dot{P}$. It would also explain why the planet survived for $simeq 3textrm{ Gyr}$ while the star was on the main sequence and yet is now inspiraling on a 3 Myr timescale. Although this suggests that we are witnessing the last $sim 0.1%$ of the planets life, the probability of such a detection is a few percent given the observed sample of $simeq 30$ hot Jupiters in $P<3textrm{ day}$ orbits around $M_ast>1.2 M_odot$ hosts.
Tidal dissipation, which is directly linked to internal structure, is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive systems evolution and govern their architecture. A robust evaluation of its amplitude is thus needed to predict evolution time for spi
ns and orbits and their final states. The purpose of this paper is to refine recent model of the anelastic tidal dissipation in the central dense region of giant planets, commonly assumed to retain a large amount of heavy elements, which constitute an important source of dissipation. The previous paper evaluated the impact of the presence of the static fluid envelope on the tidal deformation of the core and on the associated anelastic tidal dissipation, through the tidal quality factor Qc. We examine here its impact on the corresponding effective anelastic tidal dissipation, through the effective tidal quality factor Qp. We show that the strength of this mechanism mainly depends on mass concentration. In the case of Jupiter- and Saturn-like planets, it can increase their effective tidal dissipation by, around, a factor 2.4 and 2 respectively. In particular, the range of the rheologies compatible with the observations is enlarged compared to the results issued from previous formulations. We derive here an improved expression of the tidal effective factor Qp in terms of the tidal dissipation factor of the core Qc, without assuming the commonly used assumptions. When applied to giant planets, the formulation obtained here allows a better match between the an elastic cores tidal dissipation of a two-layer model and the observations.
Since 1995, numerous close-in planets have been discovered around low-mass stars (M to A-type stars). These systems are susceptible to be tidally evolving, in particular the dissipation of the kinetic energy of tidal flows in the host star may modify
its rotational evolution and also shape the orbital architecture of the surrounding planetary system. Recent theoretical studies have shown that the amplitude of the stellar dissipation can vary over several orders of magnitude as the star evolves, and that it also depends on the stellar mass and rotation. We present here one of the first studies of the dynamics of close-in planets orbiting low-mass stars (from $0.6~M_odot$ to $1.2~M_odot$) where we compute the simultaneous evolution of the stars structure, rotation and tidal dissipation in its external convective envelope. We demonstrate that tidal friction due to the stellar dynamical tide, i.e. tidal inertial waves (their restoring force is the Coriolis acceleration) excited in the convection zone, can be larger by several orders of magnitude than the one of the equilibrium tide currently used in celestial mechanics. This is particularly true during the Pre Main Sequence (PMS) phase and to a lesser extent during the Sub Giant (SG) phase. Numerical simulations show that only the high dissipation occurring during the PMS phase has a visible effect on the semi-major axis of close-in planets. We also investigate the effect of the metallicity of the star on the tidal evolution of planets. We find that the higher the metallicity of the star, the higher the dissipation and the larger the tidally-induced migration of the planet.
